nnSpeaker positioning for Super Audio CD multi- channel sound In order to enjoy Super Audio CD multi-channel sound with the best possible acoustics, it is recommended to position speakers as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1 of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Super Audio CD multichannel discs are recorded and mixed so as to achieve the optimum effect with a speaker system laid out as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1. • With Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music signals are basically recorded using 5 channels (3 - 6 channels sometimes), but in some cases, LFE (for subwoofer) is recorded as a sixth channel. • Each disc indicates how many channels have been recorded on it. • The basic layout is 3 speakers in the front and 2 in the back since multi-channel discs usually have 5 channels. The 2 front, 1 center and 2 surround (rear) speakers should be set in a circle around the listening point. If using speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume balance from the amplifier. • The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for explanatory purposes. It can be located anywhere in the room. For connection and positioning instructions, see the owner's manual that came with the subwoofer.
